Brought life back to some vintage furniture

[ProjectPete]

One of my fav things to to with wifey is strip back and revive old furniture. Here's the latest one we've done. In this case I actually did it all and she just decorated it and took the photo haha.

You should have a lot of fun with that one @Deanna. Nothing too complex so a good one to get started on.

The complexity comes more in the desired finish - natural wood, stain, paint, etc. Would love to see the final product!

Thanks @ProjectPete  and sorry to hi-jack your thread, but your work looks amazing! Fingers crossed mine looks half as good.

@Deanna Thanks very much! Although I dont think I'm that good, it just comes down to passion.

When you love what you do you'll always create something special.

Deanna, I am soooooooo green with envy. I have a love of antique furniture and have many lovely pieces but have not restored any of them. When I bought them they were either already restored or just in very good nick. I will have to go around the house and yard and take some photos of all my bits and pieces to post on the Workshop forum.

I know it sounds funny but one of the reasons I love antique furniture is that it doesn't date like modern furniture.

The other reason I love antiques is because they were built to last and not made out of melamine etc which chips so easily and ends up on the tip within 5 years. Another reason is that if I decide to sell any of my pieces down the track I know that I will at least get my money back

Good Luck with the restoration.
